Band of Brothers
A Dreamer...trying to find my way home for dinner
I wish I was a fly on the wall when Sabean and his assistants get in a room and talk about Sandoval's final year of his current contract and what their plans for the future are.
All the pictures from Venezuela show Sandoval in good shape and ready to go but there are questions still out there.
Why did Sandoval wait so long to get in shape? Sure it's a contract year but is he serious about keeping the weight off after a new contract comes his way.
Can he now play 150 games plus per year now? The jury is out on this one and Sandoval needs to prove he can stay healthy and stay in the lineup.
Is Sabean thinking down the road where Posey may have to move to another position like 3rd base? Posey put on a extra 10 pounds of muscle in the off season to prevent him from wearing down late in the season. Posey may only have 2 or 3 years left behind the plate. Sandoval will generate a lot of trade talk especially if the Giants are not contending around the trade deadline.
There will be a lot on the line for Sandoval this year. I hope he turns it on and comes through and stays but Sabean is not afraid to make a deal . He traded Matt Williams and got roasted for it but that trade worked out well for the Giants. 2014 should be a interesting year especially for Sandoval and how much Sabean wants to bring him back.
